The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission report said that a 7-foot alligator bit 2-year-old Lane Graves' head as the boy bent down at the edge of a lagoon gathering sand for a sandcastle at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and that the boy died from a crushing bite and drowning.

Now, the resort has decided to dedicate a lighthouse memorial in his honor.

Walt Disney World Resort released the following statement on the memorial dedication:

“The lighthouse sculpture has been installed to help spread awareness of the Lane Thomas Foundation, which was established to provide assistance and support to families whose children need organ transplants.”
